Causes: 1) Great Britain issued trade restrictions meant to disrupt trade between the U.S. and France.
2) Great Britain provided support and weapons to Native Americans to attack American settlers.
3) GB controlled Canadian regions and Americans wanted to expand territory.
4) GB forced Americans on vessels into the British military and were considered subjects of the King.
5) GB refused to surrender western forts even though they promised to do so in the Treaty of Paris after the Revolutionary War.
(America declared war on Great Britain)
Effects: 1) The Federalist party declined because they did not support war with Great Britain.
2) British colonies/settlements remained in Canada and prevented the possibility of Americans pursuing Canadian territories.
3) Americans became more nationalist and united during the war.
4) James Monroe created a foreign policy for America called the Monroe Doctrine after the War of 1812.
